CONTROL SYSTEMS DIVISIONTs98—0178 CAUTIONFORSAFETY =—_ Hydraulic equipment will perform as intended if used properly. However as hydraulic components involve pressurized vessels, incorrect use may cause bursting of other hazardous situations which may lead to accidental injuries or death. Carefully read this section * CAUTION FOR SAFETY’, please observe the following points in order to avoid accidents. ‘The meaning of indicators for safety used in this manual is as follows. Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not AX DANGER | avoided, may be LIFE-threatening Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, AX WARNING | nay resuit in death or serious injury and property damage. 5 Indicates potentially hazardous situation which, itnot avoided, IX CAUTION J inay resutin persona injury and property damageTs98—0178 1. Handling of products CAUTION @ To prevent nury when handing products, protective gear should be worn depending onthe situation. ® Care should be paid on how the work cariod out in order to prevent injuries, suchas fo hands ar back, atvibutable to component weight and working posture. ® Do not step on, hit, drop or apply excessive external force to the component as it may affect function or cause damage, of oakago, and other problems. @® ilonthe preduct or foor should be wiped clean to prevent dropping or sipping 2. Mounting and Removal of product A, DANGER © There is much similarity in appearance of hydraulle components, Confirm correct product model code when making product replacements. \4\ WARNING @ Conf that power fo equipment is OFF an that electic molor or engine has stopped movement prior to sctvtes suchas component instalation , removal, and piping. Aso confirm that pressure doesnot remain nthe hycraulesyster, @ Pumps, motors and other rotating shats or components should be covered to protect against enmeshing hands o thing @ Tasks should be performed by technician competent in hydraulic systems... @ nau thet power is disconnected before performing any electrical wiring work to provent shock and ijuy i. CAUTION © Clean mounting holes and mounting interfaces. Improper tightening of bolts or damage to seals may result in product damage or ol loakago. ® Use specified bolts for mounting and tighten to specified torques as improper mounting may cause ‘operational failures, product damage, or fire by oll leakage.

During operation A, DANGER © In explosive or flammable environments, insuro that product which is used is suitable for euch ambient Conditions in order to prevent serious injury or death /\ WARNING @ Pumps, motors and other rotating shafts or components should be covered to protect against enmeshing hands or clothing. Also, never operate with a cover removed. @ Botore system is started up forthe frst time, check to insure correctness of the hydraule circult and electrical Wiring and that joints are not loose. @ Immediately halt operation when an abnormal condition is detected (abnormal noise, oll eakage, smoke, A, B > T (in the case of "20" spo). When solenoid (A) is de-energized, force of the lett side spring compressed by the spool, will act to return the spool to the neutral position. When solenoid (B) is energized, the spool will move in the direction opposite (fe, right direction) to that in (3) above to form circuit configuration, P -> B, A -> T (Inthe case of a "20" spool). When solenoid (B) is de-energized, the spool will return to the neutral position, similar to (4) above. 15‘T898-017B 6.2 Spring offset type Figure 2 shows the structure of the spring offset A type (DG4V-3-*A) solenoid operated directional control valve. a) (2) (3) Mobile igen Manual] coverrid Conduit box Core cube Sol d(B) b> olenets 8 Push pin fixed iron core/ \ [Spool \ Body Zeentering washer FIGURE 2 Structure of DG4V-3-*A When the solenoid of this directional control valve type is deenergized, the spool is offset in the fixed position by spring force, In the condition of FIGURE 2, itis P>A, B>T (in case of the 2A spoo)). When solenoid (B) is energized, the armature is drawn to the fixed iron core. The movement pushes the spool while compressing a spring through the push pin switching the circuit. The circuit condition when switched becomes PB, AT. (In case of the 24 ‘spool) When solenoid (B) is deenergized, the spool retums to the condition of the offset (FIGURE 2) 16‘Ts98-017B Figure 3 shows the structure of the spring offset B type (G4V-3-%B) solenoid operated directional control valve, Fixed iron core Conduit box Mod le jyon.eore (armatures.
